I was just looking through the post of 'Which Bull did you just order' and noticed that some people were using Morgans Direction.  Just wanted it to be known if it isn't already that he is a Hydro carrier.

Yes i know and so does jbw.  Just have to check any sons or daughters you keep for breeding and then know how to breed them.
No different than th and pha.  I have no th cows but several that are pha positive and just test there offspring.
But if you would test any of the winners at the shows i can bet they are positive for one or the other for th or pha.

I figured it was known.  Just wanted to make sure.  I had a true cattleman(more than I could ever hope to be) tell me that scours are more of a management iissue than genetic defects.  The more I thought about it the more it made sense!  BTW, the morgan direction calves I have seen are real nice.
